On February 6, 1898, a piece of news suddenly reached Dayu City, which made Lin Fei break out in a cold sweat.

The news was that a few days earlier, at 1 a.m. on February 4, a group of peasants in Juye County, Shandong Province, suddenly broke into a church run by local Germans, killing three priests and four believers, five of whom were German nationals.

The cause of the incident was that the German priests, by virtue of their consular jurisdiction, and the Qing officials had no right to the privileges under his jurisdiction, ran rampant in the villages, preying on the common people, and even more hooligans and scoundrels of the Qing Kingdom, seeking the protection of the priests in the name of religious belief, colluding with the priests, and joining hands to oppress the people, and the local people could not bear it anymore, broke into the church, and killed the priests and believers.

As soon as the incident occurred, the German ambassador lodged the strongest protest and the most solemn representations to the Qing government, demanding that the Qing government severely punish the perpetrators and compensate the German church for its losses. The Qing government hurriedly ordered Li Bingheng, the governor of Shandong, to properly handle the matter.

When Lin Fei received this news, Xiyun stood aside, and Xiyun said with a smile: "It turns out that it is a lesson plan again, this kind of thing has happened many times, hey, husband, why are you so surprised?" ”

Xiyun could not have known that in Lin Fei's time, it was the Shandong Juye Lesson Plan that led the German invasion of Jiaozhou Bay, and for more than 30 years after that, Jiaozhou Bay was a German colony, and it was not until World War I that Japan snatched Jiaozhou Bay from Germany.

In Lin Fei's history, the Juye lesson case occurred on November 1, 1897, so in November last year, Lin Fei was particularly nervous, and he was always worried that Juye would have a lesson case, and Germany would take the opportunity to invade Jiaozhou Bay.

However, in November last year, there was no lesson plan in Shandong Juye, and Lin Fei was relieved at the time, thinking that this incident would not happen in this era, but he didn't expect that a few months later, this incident still happened!

Lin Fei didn't say these things to Xiyun, he just said helplessly: "What I'm worried about is that the Germans will encroach on the land of the Qing Kingdom because of this matter, and the Qing Kingdom is my forbidden territory, and I don't want others to get involved." ”

Xiyun sneered and said: "Husband is too careful, there have been many teaching cases in the past, and the foreign devils just shouted for a while, and the Qing Kingdom compensated some silver, and this matter has passed." ”

Lin Fei thought helplessly, how did you know how powerful this matter was, so he said: "Germany has long wanted to invade the Qing country, but there is no excuse, this lesson plan just gives them the truth, you help me think about it, if Germany invades the Qing country, what should we do?" ”

Xiyun frowned, "This is really not easy to do, it stands to reason that we must help the Qing State, but to help the Qing State will offend Germany, we still count on Germany to balance Britain and France in Europe, and there is an even worse impact on helping the Qing State, that is, all the powers of the world will see our ambition to dominate the Qing State, and they will inevitably further accelerate their aggression against the Qing State, and if we don't make it possible, we will fight a world war with the world powers because of the Qing State." ”

Lin Fei nodded lightly, "So we have to think about this matter carefully......"

However, the development of the situation did not allow Lin Fei to think carefully, on February 11, news suddenly came from the port of Dayu City, two German cruisers and four German transport ships, hoping to enter the port of Dayu City to replenish coal, German Rear Admiral, Alfred? Feng? Tirpitz implored the Flying Emperor to accede to the request of his allies.

The German fleet went to Dayu City to replenish coal, and the intention was self-evident, to go north to the Qing Dynasty, seize Jiaozhou Bay, or seize other places, although it will not be completely similar to the history of Lin Fei's era, but it is always to invade the Qing State and plunder the land of the Chinese nation.

What really surprised Lin Fei was the person who came, Alfred? Feng? Tirpitz, he was the main admiral of the German Navy during the First World War in the Lin Fei era, he was very keen on submarines, and he made unlimited submarine warfare, but he didn't expect the Germans to let him lead a team to invade the Qing Dynasty, which shows that the Germans attach great importance to this matter.

Xiyun immediately gave Lin Fei an idea: "Why don't we secretly sink the German warship outside the port." ”

Lin Fei smiled bitterly, "What kind of bad idea did you come up with, as soon as the German warship sank, it was a person who would know that we did it, no." ”

Xiyun's method was described by Lin Fei as a "bad idea", full of grievances and dissatisfaction, arguing: "It's not a bad idea, the German army doesn't have a blue bird machine, and no one will know that we did it." ”

"No, it just doesn't work, don't say it again." Lin Fei flatly refused, and Xiyun had no choice but to pout and lower his head, thinking of other ideas again.

At the same time, news came from the Qing State that Li Bingheng, the governor of Shandong, had arrested all 11 ordinary people who had caused the incident, sentenced Ling Chi to death, and invited the German ambassador to the Qing Dynasty to send people to watch the ceremony.

However, on the grounds that the 11 people who caused the accident were too few and certainly not all the perpetrators, the German ambassador demanded that the Qing government select another capable person to conduct a thorough investigation of the matter.

In response to Lin Fei's words when he was beating the Portuguese in Macau, he wanted to beat you, but he couldn't find a reason to beat you?

Lin Fei instructed his subordinates to agree to the German fleet to replenish coal in the port, but it would be impossible not to agree, after all, Huaxia and Germany were allies at this time, and if they did not agree to replenish coal in the ports of the allies, it would be too much to slap the face of the allies.

The subordinates agreed, turned around and went out, Lin Fei asked Xiyun: "Check the schedule, do I have anything to do this afternoon?" ”

Xiyun flipped through the schedule and grinned, "Accompany Yun'er to watch a movie." ”

Lin Fei smiled apologetically, "I want to go to the German fleet in the port to take a look, and accompany Yun'er to watch a movie, can it be postponed?" ”

Xiyun said obediently: "Okay, state affairs are important, Yun'er understands." After speaking, he pouted his mouth and said in a coquettish voice: "Although I agree, it doesn't mean that I am happy to agree, I am not happy, very unhappy." ”

Lin Fei smiled evilly, "I'll make it up to you in the evening." After speaking, he hugged Xiyun and kissed her lightly on the face.

The time came to two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Fei set off for the port, to meet the commander of the German fleet - Tirpitz, Lin Fei wanted to go on the ship to watch, but Tirpitz refused, not that Tirpitz was worried that there were secrets on the German ship to be seen by Lin Fei, but the process of replenishing coal was too dirty, the German ship did not design a fast replenishment channel for coal, and the replenishment of coal could only rely on manpower to load coal into the coal tank, and the entire battleship was full of coal ash.

Lin Fei is the Flying Emperor and Tirpitz is the German Rear Admiral, and of course these two big figures can't talk in a big pile of coal ash.

Lin Fei then met Tirpitz at a hotel near the port, and Lin Fei casually asked, "Where are you going?" ”

In Tirpitz's eyes, Huaxia and Qing are two countries, and they are also two hostile countries, Lin Fei should be very happy to fight the Qing country by himself, so he did not shy away from it, "The Qing people killed our priest, the Qing government intends to shield the criminals, and we will go to the Qing country to preside over justice." ”

Lin Fei secretly scolded in his heart, you Germans are really bastards, you can say "aggression" so freshly and refinedly, but Lin Fei can't express his anger, he can only say some scenes, but he is thinking about how to stop the actions of the German army.

After a few words of "Sino-German friendship" and the like, Tirpitz said earnestly: "Feidi, your submarine force is very powerful, I hope you can arrange for me to visit the submarine force." ”

Lin Fei was so angry, thinking that your invasion of the Qing State is not counted, but it also depends on my submarine force, can you Germans still have face? Lin Fei smiled euphemistically: "Well...... Wait for me to check the schedule of the submarine force, to meet with a high-ranking Allied officer like you, it needs to be carefully arranged, and I'm not sure if the schedule can be arranged? ”

Tirpitz immediately understood Lin Fei's overtones - submarines are the most important weapons of the country, how can they show people lightly? Tirpitz was embarrassed to say it, and said with a smile: "That's a pity, let's arrange it when we have a chance later." ”

Lin Fei and Tirpitz said a few more words, and then left, Tirpitz returned to the fleet, and Lin Fei returned to the palace, but Lin Fei had just taken two steps when he heard a delicate woman's voice not far away: "Sell flowers, sir, buy a flower?" ”

Hearing this voice, Lin Fei's whole body was crisp, because this voice was so special, full of coquettishness, Xiyun and Ning Shuang couldn't make such a sound, only Ling Xue on the bed could make such a sound......

Lin Fei involuntarily stopped, looked at the place where the voice came from, and saw a thin girl, wearing a grass-green dress, carrying a delicate bamboo basket in her hand, selling flowers to passers-by.

Lin Fei looked at the accompanying port director and said with a smile: "Why is this girl's voice so special?" ”

The port director smiled: "You think it's special, yes, but she's not pretending, her voice is born like that, no matter who she talks to, it's like she's making a fuss." ”

"Oh? So funny, call her here and I'll take a look at her. The director of the port authority ordered someone to call the girl, and the girl came to Lin Fei, and Lin Fei saw that the girl was fifteen or sixteen years old, although she did not look as national as Ling Xue Ningshuang, but her pointed chin, big eyes, and white face were full of aura, which was very attractive.

This girl knew Lin Fei's identity, but she was not afraid, she raised her head to look at Lin Fei, Lin Fei asked her with a smile, "What's your name?" ”

The girl smiled: "My name is Ye Shan'er, my mother dreamed of coral when she gave birth to me, and my father said that I was a coral fairy." ”

This girl is honest enough, Lin Fei only asked the name, but she told the origin of the name together.
